I need clarification?

Jose M.A0Kwiziq community member

So instead of using Je I have to use J'ai ? Am I understanding this correctly?

Bonjour Jose !

You have understood correctly.

This is a case of elision done as there were two vowels coming simultaneously.

Hence J’ai = I have (not Je ai)

Hope this helps !

Sure you are right, because of two vowels.
